MNSU gave me the opportunity to earn my Masters and grow academically. If it weren't for my time at Minnesota State I wouldn't be working and living abroad now. Did you see Tim Jackman is back there finishing his college degree and also on the coaching staff? Cool stuff. http://www.mankatofreepress.com/sports/former-msu-hockey-player-jackman-going-back-to-school/article_c5746d2a-63fb-11e6-a21e-3b3e5c635f0b.html Quote

He was easily the biggest tool I ever came across at UND. UND is a much better place now that his racist a** is off campus!!! He was UND's version of Jesse Jackson. 4 1 Quote

zonadub Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 To bump an old story... in these times without sports competition... funny how the imagery is offensive when it’s UND’s nickname and logo, but the removal of the image from the DOT signage is lamented by Standing Rock, et al. Quote

MafiaMan Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 In short, stripping logos off of hockey jerseys = good. Stripping them off of road signs = bad. Makes perfect sense. Quote
zonadub Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 Logos on highway signs = good. Honors Native Americans logos on athletic uniforms = bad. Chippewa (L Jeanotte) feel disrespected Quote
zonadub Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 Lived in Bismarck for 4 years toward the end of the “controversy”. Worked with a Sioux lady and another who was married to a Sioux man. Neither of them thought the Sioux logo was disrespectful. The young Sioux in town often could be seen wearing the Brien logo, they obviously did not feel it was disrespectful. But, I did not meet Ron HNIThunder. I just think it is ‘interesting’ that the spearhead of the movement to remove the name and logo was a Chippewa. Quote
